About us

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is a true luxury house, crafting the world’s most desirable Bespoke products. The Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood, West Sussex, comprises both its global headquarters and manufacturing facility – the only place in the world where Rolls-Royce motor cars are designed, engineered and meticulously built by hand. Phantom leads the marque’s product portfolio, which also includes Ghost, Cullinan and the all-electric Spectre. Black Badge offers clients darker, subversive incarnations of Ghost, Cullinan and Spectre. Every motor car hand-built at the Home of Rolls-Royce includes some element of Bespoke, the company’s unique programme offering personalisation possibilities which are limited only by the client’s imagination. Bespoke finds its ultimate expression in Coachbuild, in which Rolls-Royce and the client co-create every detail of the motor car, including its physical form. In 2023, Rolls-Royce commissioned its first independent economic impact study. This revealed a total contribution to the UK economy of over £4 billion since 2003, and now over £500 million annually. More than 2,500 people work at the Home of Rolls-Royce, and the company supports a further 7,500 jobs in its wider supply chain. Every year its Future Talent programme supports over 100 Apprenticeship, Internship and Graduate Placement positions. The Home of Rolls-Royce is also home to the celebrated Rolls-Royce Apiary with its 250,000 European honeybees. And through its Wildlife Garden and collaborations with the adjoining Goodwood Estate, the company supports local wildlife and biodiversity. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is a wholly owned subsidiary of BMW Group. It is entirely separate from and unrelated to aircraft engine and propulsion systems manufacturer Rolls-Royce plc. #InspiringGreatness #BespokeIsRollsRoyce

  • Phantom 'Cherry Blossom' is a Bespoke vision brought to life. The motor car's interior is completed with three-dimensional cherry petal embroidery, a first for our Bespoke Collective. These tactile, sculptural details grace the division, creating a striking contrast to the classic stitchwork of the falling cherry petals on the doors. Adorning the Bespoke Starlight Headliner is the source of the falling petals, a flowering tree during Hanami. The embroidered branches appear to be intertwining, growing over and under one another. To achieve this effect, a single artisan meticulously aligned eleven individually embroidered frame sections to create a single, seamless graphic rising from the rear of the motor car and flowing forward over the rear passengers. In Phantom's Centenary year, 'Cherry Blossom' showcases the never-ending potential of Bespoke. #BespokeIsRollsRoyce #InspiringGreatness - WLTP combined: CO2 emissions: 353-365 g/km; Fuel consumption: 17.4-18.1 mpg / 15.6-16.2 l/100km.

  • As Sakura season arrives, blanketing various regions around the world in pink petals, we're proud to unveil a highly Bespoke commission, Rolls-Royce Phantom 'Cherry Blossom'. This magnificent one-of-one Phantom Extended commission is inspired by the fleeting beauty of the Sakura blooms, a short-lived spectacle that is deeply embedded in Japanese art, literature and philosophy. Realised through 250,000 stitches and six months of development, the contemporary craft displayed within the motor car demonstrates the power of Bespoke in uniting individual meaning, heritage craftsmanship and modern artistry. #BespokeIsRollsRoyce #InspiringGreatness - WLTP combined: CO2 emissions: 353-365 g/km; Fuel consumption: 17.4-18.1 mpg / 15.6-16.2 l/100km.

  • At the Home of Rolls-Royce, we believe that true excellence is built on a foundation of inclusivity and respect. Last year, our Network Groups created a series of multi-function rooms designed to offer a sense of safety, comfort, and empowerment for all our colleagues. These thoughtfully designed spaces serve a variety of purposes, from allowing new mothers to nurse and store milk, to helping colleagues with emotional and physical support, and even a prayer room. Most recently, colleagues from our Islamic Society have been using the prayer room for their daily and Friday Prayers during Ramadan, a sacred month of fasting, reflection, and community. This weekend they celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr along with Muslims worldwide. Robin Pickering, Chair of the Islamic Society Network, shared: "The addition of a dedicated prayer room has been a wonderful blessing. It has provided a quiet space for employees of all faiths to take a moment throughout the day to reflect, pray, and recharge. The sense of community and inclusion it has fostered has been truly uplifting." Creating spaces where colleagues feel valued and supported is a vital part of our commitment to an inclusive workplace. We will continue to listen, learn, and evolve to ensure Rolls-Royce remains a place where everyone belongs. #InspiringGreatness

  • Enveloped in Brenner Green, a Bespoke exterior paint colour, Spectre commands the open road. Like every Rolls-Royce motor car, Spectre provides the perfect canvas for Bespoke creativity. The sources of inspiration for each commission are as diverse as our clients and their extraordinary lifestyles, with unique, inspired hues blended by our Bespoke Collective often holding deep, personal connections. For our extraordinary designers, engineers and craftspeople, Bespoke projects continue to be a tremendous force for creativity, innovation and exploration. #BespokeIsRollsRoyce #InspiringGreatness - WLTP: Power consumption: 2.6-2.8 mi/kWh / 23.6-22.2 kWh/100km.

  • Following the global debut of Black Badge Spectre, we invited a select group of media guests to experience the dynamic capabilities of our most powerful model – and to immerse themselves in the bold, subversive world of Black Badge. Barcelona became the proving ground, offering a rich mix of urban and mountainous terrain where Black Badge Spectre could truly be unleashed. Impressions include: - “It’s quick. And all the more extraordinary because you’re doing it in peak luxury and total silence.” - TOP GEAR - “…an automotive enigma that merges power and darkness, romance and rebellion.” - designboom - “...even as the numbers on the Spectre’s central speedometer rocket upwards, the vibe inside the cabin remains perfectly serene.“ – Dupont Registry - “It may not be a supercar, but it is a super car.” – This is Money #InspiringGreatness - WLTP: Power consumption: 2.6-2.8 mi/kWh / 23.8-22.2 kWh/100km.

  • In our commitment to fostering the next generation of STEAM talent, we recently held a series of workshops at the local Davison CE High School for Girls. The sessions were developed to inspire young women to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM). Led by ex-Davison student and current Rolls-Royce apprentice, Fleur Macmillan, and supported by Jess Burcombe (an intern and undergraduate from the University of Chichester), the workshops were developed in collaboration with MEI and provided first-hand insights into a STEAM career pathway. Applications for our 2025 Apprenticeship programme are open until 31 March 2025. Open roles are available to view on our careers portal: https://bit.ly/41MOw7T - WLTP: Power consumption: 2.6-2.8 mi/kWh / 23.6-22.2 kWh/100km. Electric range 329 mi / 530 km.

  • As part of our landmark extension now under construction at the Home of Rolls-Royce, we're upholding a longstanding tradition of creating a time capsule as part of a major construction project. The capsule, which will be opened on our 150th anniversary in 2054, contains artefacts selected by representatives from each of our Future Talent programmes from across the business. Some of these items have been chosen to create a historical record, on the basis that they will be obsolete by the time the capsule is opened. Others highlight enduring craftsmanship, reflecting our timeless heritage. Unlike most time capsules, ours will initially be kept on display in our reception area at the Home of Rolls-Royce. It is hoped the intrigue and possibility of the artefacts inside will spark questions and conversations from visitors in the same way as the ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’, installed in each of our Private Offices around the world. #InspiringGreatness

  • Since its launch in 2009, Ghost has captured the spirit of Rolls-Royce’s Goodwood era and signaled a desire for experimentation and expression – from the ‘quiet luxury’ codes later popularised by the fashion industry, to fearless and bright celebrations of colour. Alongside this desire for increasingly complex Bespoke, many of our clients today demand a driving experience that is as potent and agile as it is composed, effortless and serene. This is a balance that Ghost Series II strikes perfectly, at no cost to either character – and without ever compromising the motor car’s standing as a superlative and powerful super-luxury product.

  • To mark this year’s International Women’s Day, our Gender Inclusion Network (GIN) is hosting several initiatives throughout March. This week, the group ran a Confidence Masterclass with international life and communications coach Charlotte Lodey. These sessions are designed to equip colleagues with tools to build confidence and trust in their abilities, foster a fearless culture, and overcome the fear of judgment. Next week, in a podcast distributed across the business, Emma Begley, Director of Global Communications, and Verena M., General Manager, Digitalisation, will share insights on their career progression, leadership values and experience in the workplace. The GIN is one of six Network Groups at the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood. These voluntary, employee-led groups create inspiring spaces and a strong support network for individuals with shared interests and backgrounds, helping to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. With a mission to ‘engage, educate, elevate, and empower', the Gender Inclusion Network has 85 members and provides opportunities throughout the year for skills development, mentorship, and allyship for women in business. #InspiringGreatness #AccelerateAction

  • Earlier this year, we announced an investment of more than £300million in an extension to our global headquarters and manufacturing plant at Goodwood, West Sussex. This landmark development is progressing well, and we have now completed works on our Construction Hub. Nestled in the heart of our new site, with panoramic views of the build, this group of temporary offices is where our Site Strategy team will work with our independent contractors, effectively acting as the project’s central headquarters as we bring our plans to fruition. The extension will create additional space for increasingly complex and high-value Bespoke and Coachbuild projects. It will also ready the manufacturing facility for the marque’s transition to an all-battery electric vehicle (BEV) future. We look forward to sharing further updates as this exciting project continues to develop. #InspiringGreatness #BuildingForTheFuture
